I know everyone is going to raise hell this week and I am here to tell you not to worry. There are five simple reasons to chill out and have some faith.

 

 

 

 

1. Don't worry Mike McCarthy will fix those penalty issues next week.

 

2. Don't worry, Ted Thompson will find some quality lineman in free agency and draft an impact player with his first pick.

 

3. Don't worry, Aaron Rodgers will get rid of the ball quicker next time.

 

4. Don't worry, Dom Capers will let loose and let the one the best secondaries in the league do their job.

 

5. Don't worry, Ryan Grant will learn to run by next week.

 

See, it's easy. You really want highlights? Well they're right HERE.

 

Need to vent and yell? Call the Packers Lounge hotline at 1-715-318-1212 and let her rip.

I really don't feel bad about this loss. I can't guarantee that our problems will be fixed. Now's not the time to get emotional over Brett Favre. I'm not asking you to look for a silver lining in this loss, instead look at the guy who is emerging from the shadow.

I don't feel all that bad either. However, that's because I didn't expect anything but the same. Kind of sad really.

Now is exactly the time to get emotional about Brett Favre. He whooped our asses twice and now we're all but out of playoff contention.

That picture is priceless. You forgot --- don't worry, our pad level will be better next week. In all three phases of the game.

Amen. Dead on.

Fire MM. Fire TT. Quit being wusses in free agency and get someone who will actually improve the team. Draft O linemen earlier than the 5th round. I don't even know what to say about the defense. I really don't.

Wow, this is getting pretty dark. I'm hugely disappointed, not so much because of all the mistakes, but because the Packers got beaten by a much better team. Things could change before the end of the season, but it's looking a lot less likely to happen now, with this loss.

I disagree with Bryce about the Packers being "all but out of playoff contention." They are right in the thick of the wildcard race. Unfortunately however, a division title is unlikely.

Greg, yeah, not completely out. But, apart from division leaders, there's 3 teams with a better record than us right now (Dallas, New York, Atlanta), and we have the same record as Chicago. I think we're a better team than Chicago...but I can't say that we're better than any of those other 3 teams. So, with 2 wild card spots, I'm not sure that we're the cream of the crop in that group. Who knows, maybe we'll find an offensive line and a defense before the season's out.

Ironman, your comments are cracking me up. I agree, should be canned. Too much talent going to waste. I'm a little conflicted on Thompson though. If the NFL goes uncapped indefinitely it may be a good idea to keep him around simply because he's great a finding players for little value. We shouldn't be hurt as bad as other teams by this since we're upper-middle market, but teams like Wash, Phili, Dal, NY, CHI will have unfair advantages. I hope it never comes to that-- the NFL being a profit-performance correlated as MLB.

This team doesn't change. The same mistakes last week or even last season are the same mistakes being made today. There's very little, if any, progress. If you wonder what the future looks like in Green Bay, it's likely 6-10, 7-9 or 8-8 as long as TT and MM are in charge. What a bunch of BULLSHIT!

I could not agree more. I think 7-9 is most likely, given the remainder of the schedule. Chances are one of those wins comes next week, meaning we are probably looking at a team that goes 2-6 in the second half.

We play Det, Tampa and Seattle. I would say 8-8 or 9-7

I bet they lose one of those three you just listed there, and I don't think I would be shocked if they managed to lose 2 of them.

Im always optimistic.

We beat the Bucs, we are 5-3.

There are two wild card spots, and we are good enough to take one.

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but frankly, I don't care ... I believe what I'm about to say. The worst thing that could happen to this team is to sneak into the play-offs as a wild-card. This team has problems from the top down, that ultimately show up on the football field. Those problems are either not correctable, or won't be corrected. Otherwise, they would have been corrected by now. The only chance there is that any of this will get resolved, is for them to miss the play-offs again, and hope Mark Murphy and/or the executive board have the cahones to do what needs to be done and fires TT and MM at year's end. This team is soooo much worse, from a talent perspective than the Vikings, it's frightening. I don't care what the final score was yesterday, or in the previous Monday night game. The gulf between them, particularly on the offensive and defensive lines of scrimmage, is astounding. Look how the Vikes have done it, too. Big FA contracts for guys like Allen and Hutchinson, combined with the draft and good position coaching. If we were gonna do something like that, we would have by now. Instead we keep ignoring the offensive line in the draft, give them a hack coach in James Campen, and keep guys on the roster,and on the field, that are simply not NFL caliber. They have yet to draft a defensive lineman that appears capable of ever contributing, and they seem to be completely misusing the one guy who has been close to being a difference maker on the D-Line. This whole ship needs to be blown up, and new one built. The first step to that happening is this team cratering, which I frankly think will happen, given the schedule they have. I know ... i know ... that's blasphemy. That's not being a fan. I know I'll hear that. Frankly, though, I can't continue to root for a team that is so poorly constructed, managed and coached.

I agree that the difference in talent between the Vikings and us is looking really big right now. But I'm kind of old-fashioned. I cheer for my team during the season and judge the performance of the coach and GM at the end of the year. I'd rather not get into the negative stuff unless the team drops to 5-8 or something. If that happens, it will definitely be time for some serious conversations.

I remember us held hostage to sherman's 12-4 records. couldn't fire a guy who had one of the winningest records at the time, even as that record began to slide. helpless, we watched the fall: homefield advantage, playoff monopoly, the talent pool. AND WE KNEW HE WAS NOT THE GUY. And then another new to the position bargain basement GM who began his tenure wasting a year setting sherman up to rot, just to move into choice position for the draft, and pick AJHawk. then a despotic regime with his talking puppet, and a 'superior' with less seniority, and even less visibility. and again, the polls are staggeringly in favor of a change in administration, but we'll all be forced to watch until the slide is deep enuf for someone to wake up and take control.

by then? woodson and harris will be gone, arod very old for his years and another great team in the football capital of the world, gone to waste.

Exactly!! I feel exactly as I did when Mike Sherman was both GM and Head Coach ... and he was carrying 2 Punters on the roster, had our salary cap wrecked by the signings of guys like Joe Johnson, and KGB at sums so outrageous it made your head spin, and the receiving corp was made up of guys like Robert Ferguson and Antonio Chatman. It was impossible to get rid of guys like Mark freaking Roman and Michael Hawthorne. Mike Sherman wasted 6 years of Brett Favre's career not providing him with receivers and putting a defense on the field that virtually ensured on an almost a weekly basis, that Favre was either playing from behind, or having put 30+ up a game to win. Thompson and Sherman are opposite sides of the same bad coin. Sherman blew truckloads of money on bad free agents, and would keep people around forever, so he never had to admit a draft or free agency mistake. How else do you explain BJ Sander and Robert Ferguson? Thompson is the exact opposite, he has no loyalty to any thing but his own legacy, leaves the cupboards bare beyond the starting 22, and stay millions below the cap every year, and then simply refuses to talk to anyone so that he doesn't ever have to admit he made a mistake. Somewhere out there, there has to be a happy medium, doesn't there? I just hope we don't have to suffer through 3 9-7 10-6 wild card type seasons followed by 1st round ousters from the wild card round before we finally crater to 5-11 5 years from now and THEN someone decides to make a change get a GM that has a plan that actually makes sense and works. I don't want to be held hostage as a fan by mediocrity anymore. I couldn't take it in the 80's ... I can't take it now either.
